Great to be back with Allegheny Dems this morning! I got my start in local politics as a Democratic Committeeman in McKeesport and then served as Vice-Chair of this county party. I’m grateful for their support today and always!

Congratulations Roxanne Brown on becoming the first woman and first person of color to serve as the Steelworkers’ International President. I can think of no better way to start Women’s History Month.

I’m the proud son of a hairdresser and a union bus driver. One of my grandfathers worked for the railroad and the other one was a steelworker. Steel and unions are part of my DNA, just like it is for every brother and sister in the @steelworkers.bsky.social

My statement on the attacks in the Middle East:

Tonight’s speech proved that the stakes couldn’t be higher in November. Everything is on the line – and we’re going to keep fighting to protect our democracy and Pennsylvanians’ fundamental rights and freedoms.

Congratulations to Jen Mazzocco and Ana Tiburcio on their special election victories tonight to the PA House! Looking forward to working with you to deliver for real results for working Pennsylvanians. Can’t wait to welcome you to the Capitol! #LetsWork

In 2024, Donald Trump came to Pennsylvania and promised not to cut Medicaid. He lied.

Donald Trump’s illegal tariffs hurt families, farmers, and small businesses — and they’ve cost Pennsylvanians $4 billion. The President’s speech tonight makes it even more clear that he’ll just keep hurting our economy and making it harder for hardworking Americans to get by.

Most Pennsylvanians want the same things: good schools for their kids, safe communities, economic opportunities, and their rights and freedoms protected. While Donald Trump threatens every one of those things, Gov. @joshshapiropa.bsky.social and I will keep fighting for you.

In our 2026-27 state budget, we are once again proposing an increase to the minimum wage:  ➡️ Minimum wage increases from $7.25 to $15 an hour  ➡️ Tipped wages increase from $2.83 to $9 an hour    More than two dozen states have raised their wages in the past few years. It’s time for PA to join them.

Thank you, @zerlinamaxwell.bsky.social! It was great to join you this morning.

Grateful for the support of the @stonewallpgh.bsky.social Democrats! Your advocacy, organizing, and commitment to equality makes Pennsylvania stronger. Proud to stand with you in the fight for dignity and justice for all. 🏳️‍🌈✊🏾

Thank you, Senator! 😉

Great to be back in Delco today! Mary Gay Scanlon speaks truth to power, and never stops fighting to improve the lives of Pennsylvania’s working families. We must send her back to Congress! www.delcotimes.com/2026/02/21/l...

Pennsylvania is lucky to have Madeleine Dean fighting for us in Congress! Glad to join her in Montco for a petition party!

Thrilled to join Rep. Andre Carroll in Philly to help kick-off his re-election campaign. We need fighters in Harrisburg who will help us raise the minimum wage, improve, and get stuff done! #LetsWork

@montcodems.bsky.social are fired-up! Thrilled to join them for their annual endorsement convention!

Grateful for the recommendation from @pseaorg.bsky.social as we continue this re-election campaign. As the product of public schools, I’m proud to stand with the educators who show up for our kids every single day—and I’ll keep fighting for strong public schools and respect for our teachers. 🍎✊

Great to join Lancaster County Democrats in Mt. Joy this evening to kick-off the petition period! Our campaign showing up in all 67 counties!

A win for truth & history! www.inquirer.com/news/philade...

Happy Valentine’s Day to my forever Valentine, Blayre ❤️ My partner in everything—love, laughter, late nights, and big dreams. Every day with you is better than the last. 💐✨

Your home is your castle, your American dream — it’s the place where you wake up & close your eyes at night, the place where you make memories to last a lifetime. But for many, finding an affordable home has felt out of reach. This housing plan will jump start construction across the Commonwealth.

When the federal government backed away from funding SNAP in 2025, PA 211 call centers stepped up and connected people with food banks and volunteer opportunities.   This budget proposes a 33% increase in state funding for PA 211 services so more Pennsylvanians can find help when they’re in crisis.

I’m just here for Bad Bunny! ✌🏾

One month ago! On to victory we go!

Through every campaign I’ve ran, I’m honored to have secured the endorsement of the @PADemParty. The boots on the ground, the day and night volunteers, the people in our communities, I thank you and I can’t wait to see you all on the campaign trail.

I am proud to once again have the Pennsylvania Democratic Party’s endorsement to be your Lieutenant Governor. Thank you for this endorsement @padems.org and I can’t wait to see what’s next for PA.

We’ve covered a lot of ground since 2022 – but there’s more on the horizon.

Fired up to host @padems.org State Committee members in Harrisburg during your winter meeting. Our party is strong because of grassroots leaders like you—and we’re just getting started. 💪💙 #PADems

Can someone please explain to me how I'm supposed to tell my daughter that the person who posts racist videos is our president and worthy of respect? I'm really struggling as a parent. Over and over again he has shown us who he is. Folks should believe him.

Our state budget is more than numbers on paper.  It’s how Pennsylvania grows communities, strengthens our economy and shows up for workers. It keeps us competitive, and most importantly, it builds a future for everyone in our Commonwealth.  Let’s work!

Happy Black History Month, Pennsylvania!

I am outraged by what’s playing out on the streets of Minneapolis by ICE under the direction of the Trump administration. What we are witnessing is not public safety — it is fear, trauma, and violence inflicted on communities.

📸 Inauguration Day, 2023. I’m damn proud of the work we’ve done to deliver for this great Commonwealth alongside my friend @austindavispa.bsky.social.

As your Lieutenant Governor, I will never stop defending your rights in this Commonwealth – now or ever.

Here in Pennsylvania, we’ve stuck to our values and fought back against the chaos, fear, and division coming from the politicians in Washington, DC. We’ve protected our freedoms so that Pennsylvanians can make their own choices and have the opportunity to live their American dream.

Let’s run it back!

Since day 1️⃣

No matter where you come from or place you call home, Josh and I have your back — and we’re going to keep fighting for you and your future here in Pennsylvania.

Politics is definitely a family affair. Blayre is the best mother— who somehow manages to support our family, and still show up every day to serve our community as Pennsylvania’s Second Lady. Harper, who at just two years old, is a force to be reckoned with. I’m always grateful for their support.

Over these last three years, Josh has become more than a partner in this work. He’s become a friend. So grateful for his friendship!

It’s been an honor of my life to serve as governing partner to Josh these last few years as your Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania. We’ve used every day in these offices to get things done and keep moving us forward. I’m proud to join him once again to put the people of PA first.

Since taking office, we’ve always put Pennsylvanians first. We cut taxes for working families, increased state investments in our kid’s schools, reduced violent crime to record lows, and shielded people from the chaos and uncertainty of Washington D.C. The American Dream is alive and well in PA.

We all have a responsibility to show up, to give back, and to fight for a better future for all of us. That’s why I chose to step forward, and why I’m staying in this fight. Join us at joshshapiro.org/donate

What we do now, in this moment, matters more than ever before. Over the past couple of years we’ve taken a stand to defend your rights in Pennsylvania, cut costs for working families, and combat the chaos from Washington. We’ve got your back, and we’re not done yet.

Happy New Year, Pennsylvania!   Here's to a fantastic 2026 filled with great people, new projects, more ideas, and getting stuff done for the people of Pennsylvania.   Let's work!

Merry Christmas, Pennsylvania!

Wishing you all a joyous & peaceful holiday season!

Our main streets are the hearts of our communities and when we invest in them, communities thrive.    In 2025 we invested $20 million to revitalize store fronts, walkability and lighting – and in the state budget we secured another $20 million to improve even more main streets next year.

Every Pennsylvania deserves to be safe and feel safe in their community. Proud to support the great work that’s happening in Chester. #LetsWork
